because as the distance increases the gravitational force decreases so the weight of a body decreases

Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth because weight is inversely proportional to distance from the Earth which means Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth and vice versa. Also Weight is "gravitational force exerted on the body" so as the distance from the Earth increases , the "gravitational force" decreases.

Complete Question

A ball having mass 2 kg is connected by a string of length 2 m to a pivot point and held in place in a vertical position. A constant wind force of magnitude 13.2 N blows from left to right. Pivot Pivot F F (a) (b) H m m L L If the mass is released from the vertical position, what maximum height above its initial position will it attain? Assume that the string does not break in the process. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.What will be the equilibrium height of the mass?

Answer:

H_m=1.65m

H_E=1.16307m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of ball M=2kg

Length of string L= 2m

Wind force F=13.2N

Generally the equation for \angle \theta is mathematically given as

tan\theta=\frac{F}{mg}

\theta=tan^-^1\frac{F}{mg}

\theta=tan^-^1\frac{13.2}{2*2}

\theta=73.14\textdegree

Max angle =2*\theta= 2*73.14=>146.28\textdegree

Generally the equation for max Height H_m is mathematically given as

H_m=L(1-cos146.28)

H_m=0.9(1+0.8318)

H_m=1.65m

Generally the equation for Equilibrium Height H_E is mathematically given as

H_E=L(1-cos73.14)

H_E=0.9(1+0.2923)

H_E=1.16307m

Is it using energy when someone stands against a locker that doesn’t move
soldi70 [24.7K]

When someone stands against a locker and is does not moving at all, then there will be no displacement and since displacement = 0

Work done also becomes equal to zero.

Work done is usually defined as change in energy. Since the work done is zero there has been no energy used.

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²
